XR-23 was a notorious bounty hunter droid 52 years ago. He had no allegiance, only with money. It wasn't the money he ever wanted though, it was the weapons. And it wasn't the weapons he wanted. The weapons were for the hunt.. the kill.

He was originally a protection protocol droid with no sentience whatsoever, but before being finished for production, his personality code was not finished. This lead to a series of systematic questions to test his console, etc. This series of pondering, in co-ordinance with exposure to human emotion, led to a form of sentience. He one day left the family he was set to protect, bored that there were never any intruders to attack, and began his mercenary career.

XR-23 was being hired left and right in the last year of his life. He scored multiple kills, never failing, never faltering. If he did fail, he would always come back. He would not stop until he was destroyed. Finally, he was tricked into an ambush by some government officials of a small self governed village. They triggered an EMP blast around him when he went in for the kill, which was actually his bait. The village would get a quick buck off of the droid's bounty.

The mayor of the town ordered him to be dismantled and dumped in a junkyard, seeing as how the EMP fried his circuits, he wouldn't be going anywhere.

But, XR-23 is still half functioning, but offline. It sits on top of a long forgotten junkyard, awaiting an explorer, adventurer, scavenger, whatever.

Personality:Calculating, calm, reasonable, his deep computerized voice never changes from it's calm tone. He is also not programmed with fear, but is very cautious. He will take almost any job you put to him as long as the pay is equal to the threat level and importance of the targeted person. There is only one reason he does what he does, his need to hunt and kill. That enough will motivate him until deactivation.

"Irrelevant, although I am not an assassin model droid, and outdated at that, you will find me extremely capable, more capable than any shiny, chromium painted hulk of metal dotted with weapons and extremely thick armor that you can mass produce from a factory. Why I find myself insulted that you refer to such a poorly thought-out droid as an 'assassin' designation drone." -- XR-23 to a rich entrepreneur commenting on how he is an outdated non-mercenary droid.

"I am quick and merciful in most all my contracts, but I have been payed a surplus to make sure you suffer." -- XR-23 to one of his victims.

"I am not a simple computer, my allegiances cannot be swayed by your attempts to hack my mainframe. I'm going to kill you now, and I'm afraid there's no button you can press or command you can type to stop it." -- XR-23 to a slicer who attempted to hack him.

Specifications:Reflective palm:

XR-23's palms have been outfitted with a highly laser reflective material. In sync with his agility and perception, can calculate the laser's trajectory in his mind, raising his palm accordingly and deflecting it, sometimes even back at the person who fired it within miliseconds. He can only deflect lasers aimed at his torso and head, and ofcourse he doesn't always deflect every single shot right on, /roll would be used to determine his success.

360 awareness:

XR-23 has advanced sight, sound, and infrared heat sensors all over his head, making it near impossible to sneak up on him and giving him a full, detailed awareness of his surroundings.

Employment -- After XR-23 is awakened, he will then spend much time going around and finding the best robotic parts to replace his weathered down or stolen ones, along with some of his favorite DAAS weaponry. Once done with this he will be able to hire if you can find him. It is possible to hire XR-23 as your permanent bodyguard if you have a steady supply of cash, but usually your average blood thirsty vendetta craving Eshiran resident would have enough to hire him for a small job.

Moved to approval until Jacker or the majority of the community gives the okay on this.

Why did you move it to approval?Did you read it and find something you didn't like?It's fine. Besides, you're an admin. You're allowed to deem it approved/unapproved. Move it back.

I moved all non-approved characters to the approval section. As Jacker hasn't approved it, I placed it here. I'm only approving those that I've seen an overwhelming majority support for or those who are senior formerly RG members.

Well, I'll approve it then.There's nothing wrong with it, anyway. You can't expect Jacker to go through them and individually approve all of them.
